I believe that good list citizenship usually entails following the rules
even if you don't really agree with all of them, or in this case: no
HTML and no top posting please even if you really want top post HTML
mails.
If you want to change these rules, go right ahead, post a message about
it in -devel (?) list and argue your point.
